This will likely be the web/mobile eShop / Miiverse app that Nintendo have been working on. That's my bet.

I hope it's actually good and not Japan only but I suspect it will be, at least initially. Nintendo sucks with product and service rollouts.

 

[Nanashrew]

Who doesnt know whats going on like me?

Surprise announcement, no one knows what's going on! We're in a madhouse right now!

 

[Pandy]

Should...should we panic?

I can feel my internal fight-or-flight response triggering. Not sure which side has won yet.

 

[Zalman]

Hell has frozen over.

 

[Tehalemi]

Who doesnt know whats going on like me?

*raises hand*

 

[Infernal Monkey]

They're finally going to make a 3D Pokemon RPG for the Nintendo 64 can't wait.

 

[EndlessFloydian]

Nothing major, I presume.

 

[careksims]

lol I was gonna go to sleep but now....

 

[Marche90]

I have no idea what's going on, but you can be sure I'll stay awake to find out.

Good bye, decent sleep cycle, btw

 

[Septimus]

Yeah I was gonna sleep but definitely staying up. How curious and random~

 

[NinjaTehFish]

Is exactly how I feel.

 

[Jigorath]

Nintendo going mobile?

Spoiler

Should have started making games for mobile years ago.

 

[Interceptor]

60 minutes is scaring me.

 

[Balmung421]

😱 Not going to bed now

 

[Nanashrew]

I was about to sleep too lol. Probably would have helped to fix my sleep schedule since I've been staying up until 5-6 in the morning.

 

[Tagg9]

I really can't imagine anything good coming out of this.

 

[Gilbals]

I'm ready...Don't make me, Nintendo.

 

[Bjoern the Smexy]

60 minutes is scaring me.

Most probably announcing a partnership along with some exclusives is what I predict for now.
60 minutes sound pretty scary though, I give you that.

EDIT: Fittingly, Danger Zone is currently playing in my Spotify playlist.

RIIIIIDE IIIINTOOOO THE DAAAANGER ZONE!!!

 

[StevieP]

I really can't imagine anything good coming out of this.

Except for companion apps that aren't related to Mario on mobile

 

[CHusson91]

You guys should move to Japan like I did. Makes things like this a bit easier.

 

[Darknight34]

Could be nothing... but...I'm scared..

 

[Interceptor]

Partnership or Nintendo bought mobage.

 

[SgtCobra]

Is it finally happening? Does Nintendo want to make even more money?

Spoiler

Nope

 

[wonzo]

Can't wait for my Mario mobage.

about time nintendo embraced the future of gaming

 

[StevieP]

Oh never mind, this thread is already becoming a thread where commonly parroted "should go mobile" false arguments are made, like just above

 

[tsab]

Hold me I am scared

 

[Gabeking]

They're finally going to make a 3D Pokemon RPG for the Nintendo 64 can't wait.

They're announcing the long awaited Link and Star Fox sprite DLC for M&L Superstar Saga.

 

[kuroneko0509]

I guess this is why we don't get any direct yet... they're busy preparing for the switch to mobile space :^)

 

[WonderRade]

guys dont worry, Iwata is jut gonna come out there and be like...

 

[The Giant]

This most likely a buyout or mobage coming to wii u and 3ds

 

[DXB-KNIGHT]

This will either be very positive or very negative

 

[Mariolee]

This will either be very positive or very negative

Or very nothing.

 

[Tempy]

Hold me.

 

[Bjoern the Smexy]

Partnership or Nintendo bought mobage.

Would be crazy if Nintendo bought DeNA, which is of course a total possibility.

Let's hope it won't accumulate to something negative for Nintendo.

 

[wrowa]

Is there anyone else reporting this?

 

[EatChildren]

Probably the announcement of Metroid iPrime.

 

[Ban Puncher]

 

[DXB-KNIGHT]

Partnership or Nintendo bought mobage.

If Nintendo bought Mobage, they'll have all the mobile revenue without risking their IPs since everything will be under the DeNa label

 

[Tripon]

Is there anyone else reporting this?

Not yet, but Dr. Serkan Toto is the person to go to for a western perspective on the Japanese gaming industry.

 

[SuperChoco]

If you knew that the world ended in a hour how would you spend it

 

[keisuke999]

If Nintendo buys DeNA, they'll be getting a ton of other stuff, too. DeNA has a baseball team, their own airline vendor ticket website, and a bunch of other stuff.

Wow that's QOL

 

[JoeM86]

Seriously, people are thinking this is Nintendo going mobile after Iwata categorically said, again, last month that it's not happening?

Good grief.

They said they're going to do an app featuring Miis. They said eShop/Miiverse apps. That's the most we'll get on smartphones.

 

[NolbertoS]

No...no....no...no....

Lmao at Beaker, now we need Fozzy to entertain us, Wacka, wacka

And fear not GAF, Nintendo will crush all indie developers in the mobile segment and reign supreme hahahahahah

 

[30yearsofhurt]

Sony owns 13% of DeNA.
Sony and Nintendo working together?

Spoiler

No. Don't be silly.
It's just the end of the world.

 

[A Pretty Panda]

First result for mobage is a paper toss game. Is that what Miyamoto's been doing?

 

[HoJu]

I think most people are just having fun in this thread. I know I am.

 

[JoeM86]

A lot, sure, but a fundamental change in strategy which would destroy Nintendo's one successful avenue? Please.

I think most people are just having fun in this thread. I know I am.

Hard to tell over the net
